METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) - 1st test; preincubation- 2nd test

DURATION
TEST 1: In agar (plate incorporation)
- Exposure duration: 72 hours at 37 ºC in petri dishes
TEST 2: Pre-incubation
- Preincubation period: 30 minutes at 37 ºC before the addition of the agar overlay.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
Evaluation criteria:
For a test to be considered valid, the mean of the vehicle control revertant colony numbers for each strain should lie within or close to the 99% confidence limits of the current historical control range; the positive control compounds must induce an increase in mean revertant colony numbers of at least twice (three times in the case of strains TA1535 and TA1537) the concurrent vehicle controls. To be considered positive, the test substance mustinduce an increase in mean revertant colony numbers of at least twice (three times in the case of strains TA1535 and TA1537) the concurrent vehicle controls

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
OS1600 showed no evidence of mutagenic activity in this bacterial system under the test conditions employed.
Executive summary:

An in-vitro bacterial reverse assay (Ames test) was performed on OS1600 in accordance with OECD Guideline 471. Salmonella typhimurium, strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli, strain WP2 uvrA (pKM101), were exposed to OS1600 diluted in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) up to 5000 µg/plate. DMSO was also used as a negative control. Two independent mutation tests were performed in the presence and absence of liver preparations (S9 mix) from rats treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone. The first test was a standard plate incorporation assay; the second included a pre-incubation stage. No signs of toxicity were observed towards the tester strains in either mutation test following exposure to OS1600. No evidence of mutagenic activity was seen at any concentration of OS1600 in either mutation test. It was concluded that OS1600 showed no evidence of mutagenic activity in this bacterial system under the test conditions employed.
